RobSR Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Had this a while now but never actually posted this up! Some of you would of seen it for sale the other week, but after someone came to view it i couldn't actually bare to see it go so have decided to keep it. I brought this last August after not having the time to boost the SR. I now have a nice daily so don't have to rely on this anymore which means i can pull it all apart and actually build something respectable. Mind you i think this is gonna be abit of a slow burner as i still have no time whatsoever due to work! Was brought from Dale (Rinseep82) off here, didn't do all that much with it at the start, and still haven't really apart from tidying up a few bits here and there. Not gonna bother listing the spec as its all gonna start coming off this sunday - will try and keep this updated as i go, and i endeavour to finish a properly built track focus'd starlet! A pic of what it currently is sitting like. Edited June 27, 2016 by RobSR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Started pulling some bits off today.. So i can get everything ready to hoist the engine out. - ABS - in the bin- Standard PAS - in the bin List of things to do next.. -Main Oil Seal when the lump is out-Refresh engine and gearbox / full clean up-Fabricate solid brake lines to remove ABS and standard proportioning valve-Retro fit electric Saxo power steering pump with custom lines in a switched wiring loom. (Can be turned off when upto speed)-Replace clutch-Engine back in with new turbo setup - still to be decided! Obligatory pic - looks bloody awful at the moment!

maddox710 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Good to see another clean starlet not let go. Waiting on some time of work to fit my saxo pump, where planning on mounting yours? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 I was thinking inner wing on the drivers side but I don't think I'll have loads of room to run the pipework as I wanna keep it neat. It's gonna be fully stripped with one seat so it'll probs end up in passenger footwell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yeah good plan I don't think my hoses will stretch that far either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Im getting my mounted in the drivers wheel also, switched just like yours. I will be getting customLines made by forge motorsports and could probably get a few? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Such a good base and as i said before if i was looking for one i would have taken it off you the day it went for sale ha Thanks mate, I've learnt a lot in the 7 odd years I've been involved with them so this one should turn out pretty good. Gonna try some things that aren't the norm so to say. Rare day off tomoz, so will try and crack on with stripping more of the bay down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
